There is a perception out there in the “non-running” world that runners don’t run in the summer; it’s too hot! What silly people!! These same people theorize that your lungs will freeze on the spot if you run in Jan. and you will die right there on the street, face down in a snowbank. OF COURSE you run ALL the time! Most days! Every month! Yes, there are about 10% of the running community that stop in the peak of summer; we call them “candyasses embarrassing to our sport” or C.E.T.O.S.’s for short. But MOST runners just carry more water during that time, seek out shaded courses, run earlier in the day/later at night or run naked where it’s legal (we know of a few such places where it’s not only legal, it’s encouraged!). The bigger problem is finding places where you can COMPETE against your brethren (and sistren) in the Dog Days of July. Well, the Triple Trouble is ONE solution for this quest.
The 50k is 3 loops of the 15k course plus a 5k “out and back” section at the end. The 30k will be 2 loops of the 15k course. There are awards for EACH distance. To go on and do another loop, the time limit for 1 loop is 2 hrs, 20 min., the limit for 2 loops is 4 hrs. 40 minutes and the limit for 3 loops is 7 hrs. 30 minutes. if you don’t make it, you’ll just be scored in the finishers of the 15k or 30k; runners not making the 3- loop cutoff will be added to the bottom of the 30k list. The total cutoff for the 50k is 8 1⁄2 hrs.
